The disclosure relates to packages and methods of manufacturing thepackages, and more particularly to packages with metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitors and methods of manufacturing the same.

BACKGROUND

Radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits employcapacitor elements for decoupling, filtering, oscillating, etc.Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor structure has been the mostpopular capacitor in analog, mixed-signal and RF devices, due to anadvantage that metal provides depletion-free, high-conductanceelectrodes suitable for high-speed applications at low cost. The MIMcapacitor structure has an advantage of flexibility in inserting itbetween two intermediate metal levels. For increasingly complexmixed-signal and RF applications, the MIM capacitor area is limited bychip size parameters.
